wrenchman..like you I would rather work on the big rigs ...maybe because of the space involved....a little humor here on a tranny rebuild..I gave my steelworker cousin a little side cash to help me in the garage one day..so we took the tranny out of an Intersmashable...replaced the clutch, rebuilt the tranny, put rod and mains in it...etc...at the point of the rod and mains, while trying to turn the motor over a little, with the tranny in neutral, something was wrong..I figured .now I know how to do trannys but must have done something wrong...so back inside to remove it again...after getting to the point of removing the shifter plate on top,,,,,,,I seen a bolt laying between 2 gears in there.....cousin said.....OH..is that where that thing went......lol...lmao....he is just lucky I looked inside before removing the whole thing again....sure sorry they closed his steel plant...lol....yea he still takes flack from this when I mess with his ford explorer....when done...I always say....I'm missng a bolt somewhere....so he just gets on the chicken he came over on...( I ask him if those are his legs or is he riding a chicken) when he wears shorts......and mumbles on the way out...lol...he is a truck driver too....lol..lots of fun.....and ya gotta love the mechanic that whistles and sings to the radio while a wrench in his hand.....I don't know if they are 1/2 nuts or just plain....nuts
